Part 1- What Is Required To Have A Successful Custom Home Building Experience? 

Let’s say, you found the perfect contractor (see “How To Select A Custom Home Builder”) have your financing all set up and signed a contract with the Builder for a great price! What is it going to take to have a successful home building experience?

Both the Builder and the Owners want this process to go smoothly but how can that happen unless all parties know what the other expects? Before we begin, perhaps I should define what factors make up a success building experience? As with any relationship both parties desire something, have obligations and 100% responsible for the success or failure of that relationship.

From the Homeowners perspective:

A Builder that listens.

Timely communication.

On time and within the budget requirements.

Minimal stress.

A home that meets the families needs.

Excellent service after the home is completed.

Great resale potential.

Help with future home issues even after the warranty period.

From the Builders perspective:

Homeowners that are willing to be guided because they trust the Builder's judgement.

Decisions made timely.

Clearly communicate what they want.

Minimal changes once construction begins.

Treat the Builder fairly.

Timely payments.

An excellent reference for future buyers.

Encourage Builder to show their home to new home building prospects.

Look for opportunities to help the Builder sign more home building deals.

Have an awesome day!
